AJ, This unit was built in the mid 1970's. No nudge pedal ( here we call them inching pedals). I looked to see the dome nut but could not without lifting bucket, battery is down so I did not start it. Just to make sure you and I are on the same page. This unit is what most refer to as a white cab, being the later, earlier being yellow. Backhoe slides from side to side and leveling feet go straight down. When this unit is running and warmed up the tran pressure runs about at the 150 ( 10 kg) psi mark, when reved up, a little higher, but not much. Needle does hold steady. WHen it loses pressure and the needle drops to zero I sit letting it idle and after 2-3 minutes I can rev the motor up a little and the pressure will normally climb back up, needle jumping a bit and then sit at the 150 psi again. Over the time that I have had the unit it loses pressure when I am shifting from one direction to another, this being when I lift off the throttle, shift the shuttle and then get back on the throttle. Only other times are when I don"t let the unit warm up completely and normally when you take off the pressure needle is flucuating heavily and will lose pressure, let it set, rev it up a few times and the pressure comes back. Tomorrow I will charge the battery and get the bucket up and secured and check the relief valve. The alternator is not working and I called the dealer for a new one, after they got done laughing they said they will check and see if the can get one. Thanks again for your help, I do have a manual about 3 inches thick and it should have the spec's for pressure. Bob
